Yealink T53/T53W Parking and Retrieving a Call

• Call Parking Usage 
• Parking or Retrieving a Call in Transfer Mode 
• Parking or Retrieving a Call with a DSS Key

Before call parking can be used on your phone, some system extensions need to be assigned as parking slots. This is handled by an administrator in the Admin Center as explained here.

Call Parking Usage

You can use call parking to place a call on hold, and then retrieve it from another office location.

Call parking is also useful when a call has to be transferred to a user who is not at his desk. A receptionist can accept the call, park it, and use the office overhead paging system to inform the user about the extension where the call is waiting for him. The user can then use any nearby phone to retrieve it.

If a parked call is not retrieved within a certain time period it will be returned to the phone line that parked it.

Parking and Retrieving a Call in Transfer Mode

If enabled by your system administrator, you can park a call to the shared parking lot through a blind transfer.

To do so, during a call, select Park (you may need to select More > Park).

The call will be directly transferred to the shared parking lot. Essentially, the system automatically picks an available parking slot extension and parks your call there.

The system will provide a retrieval code (the number of the parking slot) after parking the call successfully. 

To retrieve the call dial the extension it was parked on from any phone on the same local network.
